Music has given me a career. But even if it doesn't become yours it teaches you confidence and allows you to express your creativity.

I've always been a workhorse.

I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.

We can't underestimate the value of silence. We need to create ourselves, need to spend time alone. If you don't, you risk not knowing yourself and not realizing your dreams.

If I could tell the world just one thing, it would be that we are all ok. And not to worry because worry is wasteful and useless in times like these.

I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.

I developed a loyal following. No one knew I was homeless.
